NBA World Left Distraught and Hopeless Over “Wild” James Harden News: “Why Would He Want To?”

So far this season, James Harden has an average of 21.4 points, 10.8 assists, and 6.2 rebounds per game. While flaunting the Philadelphia 76ers jersey, Harden proved to the league that he is far from done and is marching with hope toward bagging a championship title. As his hard work continues to flourish through the season, his future in the league hangs in the balance. The NBA Star enters free agency next season. Naturally, the question of his next move continues to linger around the league. If the 76ers and Harden agree to a contract extension, the others teams needn’t draw out deals. However, the chances of a contract extension look bleak. With this in mind, the latest report by The Athletic detailed Harden’s probable next move.

For Kelly IKo of The Atheltic, “crazy things have happened”. Hence, he claimed there is a “7 out 10” chance that Harden would end up going back home, aka the Houston Rockets. The potential of this happening has been discussed since December 2022. However, now, the certainty around this has gained momentum. Kelly Iko said, “When there’s smoke there’s fire. James loves the city.” He added, “Don’t call me crazy, but we might be seeing something different.”

NBA fans perplexed by the latest James Harden update

Following the release of the reports, fans rushed online to comment about the same. For starters, they called cap on the percentage of certainty. Furthermore, they refused to believe that this was real. They were confused as to why Harden would go back to a team filled with newcomers when his goal was to win a ring. Fans added that the situation was wild and stated that if it were to happen, then it would be funny. Some Rockets fans pleaded with the reports not to give them home. Here are some of the reactions:

Thus, NBA fans made their thoughts known.

Houston Rockets need help

As per The Athletic, Coach Stephen Silas said, “Ideally, you don’t want to roll out 10 guys who are first, second, and third-year guys but these are guys who play hard, try and learn and are improving. That’s where we’re at.” The Houston Rockets have won 13 games and lost a total of 45 games this season.

Their roster has the talent, skill, and potential to be unstoppable and dominate the league; but they lack in one department – the department of experience. The lack of experience has stopped the Rockets from maximizing their potential. Hence, the front office is looking to rebuild.
